Last night, or actually early this morning, in LW Orange, I upped at a flashing base with a big red bar on the radar. To my rook surprise, I saw an assortment of POTW’s on local. My first thoughts were “Oh, crap,” and “I’ll up somewhere else after I die.” Fortunately, my inner grown up worked through my negative attitude.
To my pleasant surprise, the Pigs behavior online was nothing like recent exchanges on these forums. They were generous with check sixes, gracious with clearing my six on several occasions, and very effective in fighting off a determined base capture attempt.

Waystin2, Buzzard7, JunkyII, RangerFL and ZZee. Sorry if I missed others.
I was wrong to insult you on another thread. I apologize. It will be a pleasure to fly with or against you all anytime.
No guarantee I won’t be NOE.
All of this is sincere and without sarcasm. It is not a challenge to the flaming class to pile on. Not that I am so full of myself to think that what I think matters. Perhaps this is my first in a twelve step program to not be a whiner.
